by thomaswanhoff via FlickrEarlier I pointed at reports where China's richest woman in 2006 Zhang Yin got into problems because of labor misuse at her paper company. Those reports suggested that Zhang Yin was trying to fight off those allegation by pointing at a foreign plot to bring here into problems.
Today Xinhua came with an official statement, that did put the NGO SACOM in a much friendlier light:
The report, jointly compiled by Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM) and student unions of two Hong Kong universities after investigation into the companies' mainland subsidiaries, condemned Zhang's company as "shameful among Hong Kong companies" because of unsafe working conditions, bad welfare treatment and other issues violating labor laws and regulations.The Guangdong trade union repeated it had send in investigators herself and confirmed problems with workers' rights and the severe use of penalties.
